I wasn't dismissing the possibility of alien tech. It was a comment noting the possibility of something having been made somewhere other than the US and domestic (also allied) specialists not knowing how it was made.

Tech wise the Chinese have become very advanced now, it's easy to be dismissive of their abilities because of all the cheap junk that is made there.

What was the first man made object that left earth's atmosphere? It was a German missile, the same tech that was used as a basis for the development of US ballistic missiles and the space program. Russia already had their own rocket specialists but also used German tech and technicians to enhance their programs.

It only took about 15 years for Germany to go from being completely bankrupt with massive unemployment to having a missile that could leave the atmosphere.

Aye, and if it's from another planet it'll have extraterrestrial isotopes. Which is what scientists will be looking for before any materials or vehicles are considered to be off-world in origin. I would not doubt that the Russians and/or Chinese can reverse-engineer captured tech but so can 'Murica.

Welp the standard version of Civ 6 is free for the weekend on Xbox. Thought I'd give it a whirl. Not a bad job actually in regards to using a controller, pretty simple. Load times can be insane though. And the graphics are kinda dumbed down which I find funny considering the Xbone is easily twice as powerful as my pc

Refreshing playing the originals rule set. No where near as bad as what some people said in the reviews section. Still somehow weird and maybe even blasphemous playing it on a console though..

I for one am ready for our space mommies and daddies to show up, why not shake up this already stellar year a little bit more?

There's a guy at work that only plays steam stuff, if I'm talking to the other guys about console games he's always muttering about blasphemy and peasants

Funny thing is that he was looking for an Xbox 360 controller (wired) at the start of the year. Dude, why do you need a console controller?

Xbox controllers are great on PC for certain things maybe??? We sure have done it. Anywho I like both but those types of games I find are better on pc.

Ack. Got caught between the first 2 hunters in Code Veronica. Should have brought more than the handgun

I snagged a bitchen controller at walmarts electronics section clearance, its a PowerA brand Xbone controller.

It has a great Dpad unlike the official one, oh and this controller brand of officially licensed.

SETI is a big waste of time and resources, we have yet to detect any sign of intelligent life on Earth much less on another planet.

God Fucking Dammit. Trying to get the A rank in RE: CV and made it to the fight with Alexia after saving claire. Stupid me I ran straight into her when I regained control after the fmv and she one hits me.

fuckfuckfuck.

It's not that aliens don't exist, it's that beings advanced enough to visit Earth are not detecting any sign of intelligent life and they are entirely indifferent to us.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmicism

"In Lovecraft's work, human beings are often subject to powerful beings and other cosmic forces, but these forces are not so much malevolent as they are indifferent toward humanity. This indifference is an important theme in cosmicism."

It is because the cosmos is meaningless that we must secure our individual illusions of values, direction, and interest by upholding the artificial streams which give us such worlds of salutary illusion. That is since nothing means anything in itself, we must preserve the proximate and arbitrary background which makes things around us seem as if they did mean something.
